The
Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning will soon be registering, a fresh, all
Land title deeds in the country.
This
is in what the Ministry notes that is a move aimed at curbing fraud that has been on
the rise in the sector, even as it also seeks to enhance efficiency.
Fresh registration
of title deeds is also part of the ongoing process to shift administration and
management of land to new laws. Under the new laws, title deeds will be handled
under the Land Registration Act (2012).
Currently,
land issues are being handled under the Registered Land Act (RLA), the
Registration of Titles Act (RTA), the Land Titles Act (LTA), and the Government
Lands Act (GLA) all which have now been repealed.
This
means all the old title deeds will have to be replaced, so as to be inline
with the new laws.
“All
transactions or dealings relating to parcels within the registration unit shall
from April 1,2021 be carried out in the new registers,” Lands Cabinet Secretary
Farida Karoney said, in a statement.
“Each
of these pieces of legislation created its own register, making land registration
complex. The confusion occasioned by the different regimes has become a
breeding ground for fraud, delays in service delivery, centralisation of
land services and threats to the right to property,” the CS added.

With
the new law governing land issues coming into force, the Ministry of Lands
notes that all the current titles will be cancelled and new ones issued.
Ownership of land, size and other interests registered against each of the
titles will, however, be retained.
For
title deeds that are being held by third parties such as banks, hospitals and
hospitals, they will have to be replaced.
Under
the new arrangement, the Land ministry will utilise the Registry Index Maps
(RIMs) as a reference, replacing the deed plans, further minimising land fraud.
Lands CS
notes that it is easy to note any change or alteration under this system.
Boundaries will also not be affected as RIMs are generated from survey plans
which have fixed boundaries.
In
case a landowner wants to verify boundary details, both RIMs and the survey
plans are accessible at the Survey of Kenya Headquarters in Ruaraka, Nairobi.
